Cycle lanes and routes

The Falkirk Council area has more than 500km of shared use paths. There are mountain bike trails, high quality parkland routes, canal paths and the Round the Forth cycle route. There is something for everyone from beginners to experienced cyclists.

Where can I get a cycle map?

Can vehicles drive or park in a cycle lane?

If the lane is marked by a solid white line, it is a road traffic offence to drive or park in a cycle lane. If it is marked by a broken white line, vehicles should not enter the lane unless necessary. There is no offence committed if they do so.

Do you have to use a cycle lane?

No. Although we would recommend that you do, there is no legal reason why you should.

There is no cycle lane near where I live. Can I cycle on the pavement?
